Off course facilities including Boundary Lakes’ brand new clubhouse, and the American Golf store, are all housed within the Hilton at the Ageas Bowl.

Work has been ongoing at the site for over five years.

The Ageas Bowl chief executive, David Mann said: “We’re extremely proud to announce the opening of Boundary Lakes Golf Course. This was a major engineering achievement and we have been working hard on this project for a number of years.

“I would particularly like to thank the course architect Bruce Weller for his design input, our partners at Keltbray who delivered the project and our own greenkeeping staff who have worked tirelessly to present the course in fantastic condition.”

Former England and Hampshire cricketer, Tim Tremlett, has been named as first club captain.

Earlier this year, Boundary Lakes experienced what it has described as ‘phenomenal demand’ for both five and seven day membership packages, with a ballot required to select successful applicants.
